Abstract

Research evidence is essential in making robust defendable decisions about social care services. We understand the barriers, but we know the need for – and value of – research, especially at a time when resources are scarce and demand is increasing. Our Evidence Clinic at #NCASC13 aims to bring research evidence to those in practice. We’ll be there to hear about delegates’ research evidence needs and requirements and tell them about the support we might be able to provide. We’re also on the lookout for any innovative methods that could be used to engage with practice and research, and if we find them we might just fund them!
